NCT ID NCT06678841
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a pacemaker programmed to each person's needs can improve symptoms and outcomes for people with a common type of heart failure (HFpEF). About 700 adults with heart failure but normal pumping strength will receive either personalized pacing or minimal/no pacing. The goal is to see if this approach reduces heart-related deaths, hospitalizations, and improves quality of life.
